How about giving the boy a biology lesson on Endor

No no see republic satillite planet.. will only cause of fuss if im seen there

I'll take him then you drop us off do what you have to and Pick us up later

No cobal.. not yet.. give it some time first the boy is coming close to the time when his growth acceleration will stop

Nar shaddah it's non republic we shhouldn't get in anyones way

*thinks*

Ill meet you there in two days time.. i have some things i need to take care of in regards to the army and the boy

Ok, a bar called the Persona Non Gratia

Ill be there in two days.. three if somethings comes up but if so ill contact you

I'll see you there then

*Leaves*

*Ma'rol calls the castellans in. The remaining seven enter in there full armour*

Castellans you've been loyal and unyeilding in your duty.. even though this has been sorely tested. In the process half of you have been killed.. five lost in a one sided battle and never to receive the burial they deserve. But you seven are the best of the best. You are equal of the best fighters in the galaxy.. but that must be tested against those that would do evil..

So we head for Tatooine to get our mounts.. then across the galaxy. Adorn your armour as you wish and take any equipment you may need. Be ready for anything

*The castellans leave and collect there things*

*Od'sseus enters, having had another age boost. He appears thirteen, or near enough*

Od'sseus: Father you wanted me?

M: Yes stand there.. leave your lightsabre on my desk for now

*Ma'rol receives ch'kovs message and smiles, before running off to the back room. Od'sseus places his sabre on the desk hesitantly as Ma'rol re-enters, wearing his full armour and carrying a second suit.*

M: Ive modified this so that you can wear it. It'll cause pain in the shoulders although this will subside given time.. its lighter then the other suits that me and the castellans wear.. but you'll need it where were going

*Starts to put the armour on od'sseus*

O: And where exactly are we going father

M: We go to Tatooine.. were going to purchase some steeds and from there move on to.. well i dont know yet*Finishes putting the armour on* get your sabre

*Od'sseus force pulls it to himself and clips it to his belt*

M: Impressive my son.. you will learn fast and well.. come

*they head for Tipoca*

*Ma'rol enters and sits at his desk, reading up on various reports*

*Enters without knocking*

Well that went well as usual, do you want war or don't you and what was that crap about me and the republic, you know I'm an independant in these negotiations

Oh and by the way I've recommended that La'roo take an adult bodyguard with her, unless of course she want's to be laughed off of the negotiating table

You havent seen the boy fight Cobal. Theres his mothers skill in him thats for sure...
*rubs forehead*
As for the republic stuff then you know exactly what im thinking. You didnt just leave here and come back in charge of the negotiations Cobal, not unless either your getting paid or Kellins got a plan. I cannot let my head of state wander into a situation i know she wont walk away from

Have you been listening to anything I've said, one bodyguard each and a neuteral planet and any flouting of the rules will be met with retribution, that goes for both sides, if someone screws this up both sides suffer so it's best if both sides agree.

I don't want to see my home suffer from your childish squabbling so I have a vested interest in peace, I will expect compensation from both sides no one side is paying me, there is no reason for your Republic paranoia to ruin it for your PM, I voluenteered for this mission because you used to trust me and I have ties to both sides, can't you help me by trusting me.

Retribution from who? You? *laughs* corsec could deal with you without breaking a sweat.. The jedi, thats even worse. This retribution you speak of is non existant. And the republic is large enough to fund a strike team to attack a distance planet without worrying about causing a fuss

If you want retribution why don't you break the rules and find out and be forever known as the man who devistated the galaxy to prove a point, you will be spoken of in the same terms and Darth Vader and Emporer Palpatine, do you really want to run the risk of upsetting not just the republic, but the Bounty Hunters Guild, the Hutts and every crime lord in every system because that is what will happen if you screw this up, it wont be my doing but everyone will want revenge on you, so you'd better sleep with one eye open

I will take my leave of you now

*Leaves*

*Od'sseus enters*

M: Shes fast with a blade, but your faster. Ill ask La'roo to pick Cerea. If the Republic accepts then were in buisness and they do want peace

O: But they'll ask for two planets..

M: *strokes chin* Where would you pick, if any planet?

O: *thinks, then smiles a wicked smile* Coruscant

M: *looks a little bemused* Why there?

O: Safest place is exactly where they can get us easiest, but put themselves at the most risk in doing so. Its a gamble, but the rewards are far greater...

M: Especially if we can do the negotiations with the senate *Od'sseus nods*.. its settled then. Coruscant is our first option and let them prefer Cerea.. but first

*Sends orders out*

*Od'sseus puts and hand to his temple for a few seconds and Ma'rol looks at him*

M: Your mother is abroad son..

O: *nods*

M: *senses her disappear* shes either took metablockers or gone to Dagobah.. and i sense your brother has also gone... there on Dagobah...*rubs forehead, then presses a button*

*Motions to Od'sseus, and both Father and son leave*

*with the shutters up, ma'rol enters and sits on the desk*
